Curse of Babylon
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

The country of Babylon was once a thriving community, enjoying peace and prosperity. However, all that changed when monsters invaded the land. Eventually, the entire population was wiped out and Babylon became an enclosed area no one dared to enter. Only one brave adventurer traveled to Babylon in an attempt to destroy the evil that dominated it.

Babylon is a side-view action game with light platforming and role-playing elements. The game takes place across interconnected screens, often arranged in maze-like patterns, with vertical shafts that required climbing, dropping down, or jumping over chasms. The jump key is also used for attacking, which requires gaining momentum and repeatedly "bumping" into the enemy. There are no experience points or any type of currency, but defeating enemies may yield healing potions or better weapons and armor. These items can also be found in the numerous treasure rooms found in the game. The player is given considerable freedom as to which area to explore first, but many areas are initially blocked, requiring the player to procure a key or return with better equipment in order to defeat a stronger enemy guarding the location.

Description from the packaging:

A best selling action game from Japan.
Here's your chance to save the world!
The world of Babylon, that is. A world cursed by zombies, rock creatures, giant blue lizards and hordes of other monsters.

Fate has chosen you to conquer these intruders and restore peace to Babylon. You start with only a knife and leather sheath- not much when you've got a gargoyle in your face.
So stock up on arms, magic potions, and fireballs. If all else fails, try a little brute force.
You'll need all the help you can get to crush your enemies. Run, jump and climb your way through dark forests and ghastly dungeons. Your magic and life stats appear on the screen, so you'll know when to attack. And when to run and hide. But be careful- that "rock" you crawl under could be alive!

This hit from Japan will bring you hours of adventure. So, check your armor and let the battle begin.
12 Increasingly complex levels with over 150 rooms to explore.
13 Magical items to help you in your quest.
Arcade style action driven by 7 incredible soundtracks.
